ALWAYS FRIENDS

Before all my time on this good Earth ends,
Wish I could have more time with my friends,
My love for my friends grows more and more,
You know that all my friends I truly adore,
In only an instant they might be gone away,
Yes, and they might be gone for many a day,
I'll miss them badly,for I love them madly,
The times when they leave I so truly dread,
For when they go things are dreary and dead,
No hopes for any hugs or any knowing looks,
For me it is like the closing of the books,
With fear they can't be opened again to see,
I know those fears are silly but well gee,
If it's so they weren't really friends to me,
A friend is a friend no matter where he be,
Way across the country or with you up a tree,
Distance don't matter and the times not a lot,
If you got a real friend that's what you've got,
A friend is a given and comes it without end,
we are friends always and always we are friends.
